Bruno Fernandes

“For me, losing is not normal so my mentality comes from that.”

“You make your own reality.”

“When you have an individual trophy, of course, you are doing really well and deserve the credit but that credit goes to the team because they help you do better and better.”

“I think everyone knows what it means to play a derby - it doesn't matter which derby it is.”

“It's always pressure to take a pen, doesn't matter if it's against City, or another team. It's always pressure to take the pens.”

“There are those who say that defeats teach a lot, but also learning to win is not bad.”

“Maybe my way of showing leadership is a little more expressive and people see more from me than other players but I think at the end of the day, you have to have 25 leaders in the team if you want to win something.”

“I find it hard to define myself.”

“You always see what people say but I really don't care. I'm not focused on what they are saying.”

“You can be better every day. If not, I will not come to training every day.”

“I'm an ambitious player who wants success and I want to win every game in every competition we're in.”

“The players start to recognise your game, start to know how you move, how you pass, how you shoot and the things become difficult now. So now I need to improve more and to work more and understand more the teams who I play against because they will understand me better, but I need to be prepared to understand better the difficulties they can have.”

“People can say what they think, I don't care.”

“I was always Team Cristiano. My brother was always Team Messi.”

“Pressure always has to be present in our day-to-day and we have to be under pressure to improve every day.”

“The position I play is to do that, assist and score when you can.”

“At Sporting I have found the trust and I am at home. I had the chance to come and I immediately picked it up.”

“Since I was a kid it was a dream to play for Man United, and to be there at Old Trafford is the biggest dream of my career.”

“For most people, it's easy when you're in front of the TV. It is easy - just look at the goalkeeper jump to his left so why don't you shoot to the right? Yeah, I can shoot to the right but, on my mind, was the left and the goalkeeper saved it! It can happen! But the most important thing, for me, is to keep scoring.”

“Nobody in football, a team sport, wins an individual trophy just doing well himself.”
